"I'm very chuffed for Jean," said Meyer. "He took over the captaincy in a challenging year and has been a rock in our team.

"The fact that Jean has played in every Test this season, and finished all of them, is testimony to his amazing resilience and work ethic.

"Jean has been the glue that has kept our team together and for that I salute him," Meyer added.

Turning to Saturday's match, former Leicester coach Meyer said: "It's great to be able to field an unchanged team.

"We've been able to show some consistency in selection on this tour and that is a good thing," said Meyer, whose side started their European autumn series with a 16-12 win over Ireland in Dublin earlier this month.

"The players have worked extremely hard on the training field and it wasn't easy to select the match 23 for each of the three Tests, but I'm happy that we managed to stick to combinations.

"The plan was always to give Elton a run on the tour. He's shown earlier in the season that he can play Test rugby.

"It's also good for his development as a player to experience the conditions here and to play in front of a big crowd like Twickenham," Meyer added.

England, beaten 20-14 by Australia last weekend, are due to name their side on Thursday.
